 Larry was on his own
with no claws, now talk about a love bug, good grief. This boy is an
in-your-face kind of guy. He loves to give face rubs and head
butts. He truly loves affection and loves to give it. He
will almost swallow you up with affection. He is so laid back,
whatever is going on, he is fine with, just as long as he can get some
attention! Larry,
boy, declawed, born approx. 2004.

 Is this the cutest little face EVER? Megan was
adopted out as a kitten but brought back because of a family
split. She is very petite and very adaptable. She is very
affectionate and loving but also really enjoys playtime. She
would do great with other cats, dogs or kids. We hope we can find
her forever home this time, so does she! Megan,
girl, born approx. 2006.

 You
might think that Pharoah is made or mean when you look at him but this
poor boy is ANYTHING but, he is super affectionate and loving.
His ears are almost like stones, they are rock hard. Pharoah was
found outside with no claws and wondering. The veterinarian
thinks that he had some injuries to his ears and that scar tissue built
up, which is the reason they are so hard. This poor guy needs a
family that will protect him from such injuries in the future, he is
such a deserving boy! Pharoah,
boy, declawed, born approx. 2005.

 Krysta is a
survivor, she is such a tiny girl but was even more tiny when she
arrived at the shelter. Her mouth was literally rotting away and
she couldnt really eat food. With some TLC, she gained enough
weight to be able to have surgery to remove the rotting teeth.
She has such spunk, she is just hysterical to watch. She plays so
hard and entertains herself. Although we believe this little long
haired beauty is going on 5 yrs old, no one can believe it, because she
is so petitie and playful. She is very bossy, but she gets away
with it at the shelter. Krysta,
girl, born approx. 2005.

 Austin
is a super sweet boy that is so laid back. He loves attention and
affection. He is not rattled by much, he appears to just go with
the flow. He is great with other cats and has even hung out with
some dogs & puppies. He is not intrusive at all, even though
he loves attention, he is not an in-your-face sort of boy.
Austin,
boy, born approx. 2006.

 Electric was given up by his family because they could
not afford his veterinary care. He is front paw declawed and very
laid back. He does love attention and will ask for it, literally,
he is quite the talkative boy and such an extremely handsome one also,
this picture doesnt do him justice. Electric,
boy, born approx. 2005.

 This
face is adorable isnt it? She is just ate up with gorgeous!
Reese is at least part Persian as her face is slight smushed, she might
be a purebred with the less smushed face, but we are not sure.
She is very affectionate and loves attention. She is fairly
petite also. She appears to get along with other cats and even
tolerates dogs. She is quite confident, so not too much bothers
her, so she would probably do well with children also. Reese,
girl, born approx. 2008.
|
 This little princess
is quite the show off, she will do whatever it takes to get your
attention so you will love up on her! She is a gorgeous Maine
Coon girl and knows all sorts of tricks to get the attention of
visitors to the shelter, besides her stunning looks, she is super
sweet! She was dumped in our parking lot in a carrier, so we dont
know a whole lot about her, except she deserves a family that
appreciates what a doll baby she is! Brenna,
girl, Maine Coon born approx. 2008.

 This little
dreamboat is just the best little love bug ever. She is so quiet
and non intrusive yet if you give her the attention and affection she
craves, she will snuggle up to you like no one's business. She is
super affectionate. When she came to us the first time she had 7
babies with her, she was such a good mama, she found a home but was
returned because of allergies. She has the most adoring emerald
eyes and she is so petite. She is awesome with all other cats and
is very adaptable, wont you give her a furever home? Cozumel,
girl, born approx. 2005.

 Little Chelsea came
to us as a kitten and we found out that she was probably born with a
crooked spine. It doesnt bother her at all in fact, it makes her
even more special. She is very sweet and affectionate, she loves
attention and would sit on your lap for as long as you would let
her. She is a very petite girl, she only weighs about 7
lbs. She loves to play and gets along great with other
cats. She was adopted out but returned because of allergies, we
would love for her to find her furever family, is that you?
Chelsea,
girl, born approx. 2005.

 Poor
little Bettye, she was rescued as a bit older kitten and just hasnt
quite gotten how to interact well with 2 legged humans. She LOVES
attention and affection and loves to give it also. However, like
when 2 cats groom each other, they do some biting and she feels the
need to do that with people. We are working with her and she is
trying, however, if love bites are not something that you tolerate,
probably should look on. But if you would like a sweet baby with
lots of love to give, little Bettye has it. She gets along great
with other cats, but is sometimes intimidated by the more "assertive"
ones, but she is never aggressive with other cats. In her
previous home, she was around dogs, so she would probably do very well
in a home with cat friendly dogs. Bettye, girl, born approx. 2007.

 This petite little
girl was dumped to fend for herself
and she has no front claws! Imagine how she must have felt!
JJ still has so much kitten in her, its very entertaining to watch her
run about after imaginary prey or fake fuzzy mouse! She is also
very affection and loving. She will roll around in your lap
soaking up every bit of attention that you will give her. She
really needs a family that will keep her indoors and safe. She
appears to be ok with some cats, but gets overwhelmed with the numbers
that she is living with at the shelter. JJ, girl, born approx.
2008.

 Pixie
came up to a Good Samaritan's home and promptly had babies. What is
even sadder about that, Pixie is barely more then a kitten
herself! This Good Samaritan could
not afford to keep them, but didnt want to see them carted off by
Animal Control, so they tried their best to care for them, but money
was tight and they were not able to feed them much. They finally
found
us and asked for help. We were so sad to see such skinny cats and
kittens but knew the family was trying their best. We got the
cats and
kittens into our care and they are normal weights now and ready for a
family. Pixie is VERY affectionate and loving. She is
overwhelmed with too many other cats but would be great with just one
or two others. She is confident and not too rattled by alot of
noise or chaos, she just wants love, have you got extra that you could
give her? Pixie, girl, born approx. 2008.

 Now this guy has
been through some really bad times in
his life. When he showed up as a stray to a family, they thought he had
had his paw pads severed partially off. In panic, they took him
to the veterinarian to get him help. After evaluation, it was
found that Brody has an autoimmune disease and basically his immune
system was attacking him causing his paw pads to be HUGE and
squishy. After a long treatment he is finally all better now and
needs his family! He is one of those tough kitties, tough skin,
battle wounds, but the sweetest most gentle little spirit! We
hope to be able to find him a home that will make up for the ugliness
he has had to endure in his life. Brody, boy, born approx. 2005.

 Is this an adorable face or what? And she is just
as adorable in "purson". She is very sweet and
affectionate! This poor girl was dumped with 5 older kittens at
someone's farm home. It must have been a relief for her to be
rescued, because she slept really hard for a few days after arriving,
but is wide eyed and a happy girl now! Claiborne is very
affectionate and loving. She still has lots of kitten in her when
she gets going with toys. Such a shame that she was dumped with
her babies to fend for herself! She is a confident kitty that
appears to get along with other cats and wasn't too freaked out with
the dogs. She would probably do well with children as she is not
too rattled with strange noises and lots of action! Can you show
her that not all humans will dump their kitties but will instead make
them a part of the family? Claiborne, girl, born approx. 2008.

 Although
hard to tell from this picture, Snookie has a little smushed in face,
apparently she has some Exotic Shorthair in her bloodline. Her
eyes are very sleepy looking but we believe that is a trait of her
breed. She is front paw declawed and was on her own when she
showed up at someone's house looking for help. She is a bit
confused right now and wonders why she is now living with many kitties
at the shelter. She does get overwhelmed with all the kitties but
tries her best to show that she is not afraid. However, sometimes
she just cant help it, and without front claws, who could blame
her?! Snookie is petite in she is short to the ground and not
very
long, but she does have a round belly :-) which makes her all the more
adorable. When she talks to you, not much comes out but a tiny
meow. She can purr up a storm when she starts to feel
comfortable. Snookie would prob not do well with children because alot
of action makes her a bit anxious! She hopes her family will come
soon, because she is a bit scared living with all these other
cats! Snookie, girl, born approx. 2007.

 Don't let this petite little girl fool you, she is very
much a calico and can hold her own with the "boys". She is so
cute and tiny! She will fly around the room chasing her toys and
if one of the other cats gets in her way, she gives them the old "ummm,
no, that is my toy" look! She is very confident and not rattled
by the changes. She would do well with children that know how to
treat animals and would be a good companion for children that would
like to interact with toys and a pet. Charlize was found ina
neighborhood apparently abandoned when her owner's moved away.
She was begging for food from a feral cat feeder for quite some time
before the feeder was able to locate us to take her in. Charlize,
girl, born approx. 2008.

 JR
is one of those big boys that you just cant help but love! He is
affectionate and talkative and BIG! JR went to a home 5 years
ago and was recently returned because the owner said she got
allergies. JR is very confused about what is going on, he has
suddenly ended up in a shelter without his family and he is very
confused. He loves attention and affection. He needs
someone that will give him a forever home as being dumped into a
shelter at 5 years old is really tough on a poor animal! You have
to see this guy to really see how gorgeous he is marked. JR is
hoping that his family comes soon, so he can truly unpack his
bags. JR, boy, born approx 2004
|
 Is this girl ate
up with gorgeous?! And even though she may know she is gorgeous,
she doesnt show it. She is affectionate and silly. You have
to smile watching this girl play with her toys, tossing them up just to
chase them down and shred them with her hind legs! Natalie walked
into a trap while HELP was working on TNR (trap/neuter/return) of feral
cats. She was not feral but boy, was she hungry! She looks
bigger then she is because of all that fur coat! She appears to
get along ok with other cats. Wouldnt you love to call this doll
baby your own? Natalie, girl,
Maine Coon,

Found
exploring
during the horrible storm in which lightning struck the tanker at the
Magellan
Gas Company, a Good Samaritan brought him to safety at the
shelter.
We aren’t sure if Magellan got outside
somehow or if he was dumped, but he was social enough that we knew he
wasn’t
born feral. He was definitely taken away
from his mom before he was weaned because he still “nurses” on fleece
blankets. Magellan loves to cuddle and
has to be in the same room as his human.
He might look like he is asleep on the couch but if you go to bed he
will be right behind you, ready to snuggle.
He gets along with other cats and likes to play soccer with his
ball. Magellan, boy, born approx. 3/08

 Can
you believe that someone would dump this little darling on Christmas
Eve, where was their heart?? Clarice (named after Rudolph's
girlfriend) looked in our door at the shelter on Christmas Eve.
We
brought her into safety and warmth to find out that not only was she on
her own outside on a dreadfully cold night, but she didnt have front
claws! Clarice loves to play like a kitten but also loves to
snuggle.
She is a bit scared of other cats so she would fair best in a home
without other cats. She would love to find her family soon, so
she
wouldnt have to live with all these kitties at the shelter.
Clarice,
girl,
declawed,

 This BIG boy is
such a doll! Peanut is all 4 paw declawed, which truly should be
outlawed, but unfortunately it is not. Peanut does well with
other cats, despite having no claws. He is very people oriented
and loving. Peanut needs an eye med 3 times a week to make sure
that his eyes dont flare up. We can talk with you more about this
if you have questions. We would also be happy to let you speak
with his vet to get all the info that you would need. Please dont
let this deter you from choosing Peanut, he still deserves to have his
own family! Peanut, boy,

 Does this little
thing have the cutest mustache? Lil is a princess that believes
that princess' should be treated as such and have no others in her
kingdom. The sad thing about Lil is that she is an older girl and
has lived in the same home most her life. However, because of
some unforseen circumstances, she is living in the shelter. You
can imagine how hard it is on her, she is up there in years, doesnt
like other cats and now she is in a shelter with lots of other cats
everywhere. Can you give this sweetie pie (she is GREAT with
people) a family and home where she wouldnt feel threatened with other
cats around? She will repay you will affection and love!
Lil, girl, born
approx. 1998

 This
little girl has THE most adorable face! It has a bit of a squishy
thing going on. Ambra was brought in by Animal Control when she
was a baby, she was a bit of an older kitten, so she didnt socialize up
well. She will need someone that is willing to give her the time
she needs to trust. She is AWESOME with other cats and once she
decides she can trust you, she will soak up the attention and affection
like a sponge! Ambra,
girl, born approx. 2006

 Puffy is an
active, vocal cat. He does not like to be held much but loves to talk
and play. Puffy is shy outside of familiar surroundings and takes a
while to adjust to change. He has not done well in our shelter because
of this and is in a foster home to make things less stressful for him.
He gets along well with both older and younger cats. He needs to be in
a home with other cats for companionship. If you are interested in
meeting Puffy contact the shelter and arrangements can be made for you
to meet him. Puffy, male, approx. 8/07

 Smokey
Vaughn has had some bad luck these last couple months. His
guardian passed away the day after Christmas and him and all his family
was suddenly gone. Then after entering the shelter, it was
discovered that he developed glaucoma in his eye and it had to be
removed. Smokey is a senior about 10 yrs old and doesn't deserve
this at this point in his life. He is a huge lap cat, in fact,
you could never visit his previous home without finding Smokey on his
guardian's lap. He just wants someone to love and be a couch
potato with. If you are a senior and are interested in adopting a
senior kitty, please ask us about reduced adoption fees for senior to
senior adoptions. Smokey
Vaughn,
boy, born approx
1999.

 This
painted beauty was returned to our shelter just hours before she would
have been killed at the Olathe Animal Control. You see, someone
declawed this beauty and alot of declawed cats are biters and she is
one. But instead of returning her to us at the shelter, they
called AC on her and she spent 10 days on rabies watch, although she
was current on vaccinations. She had been given the death penalty
but luckily we arrived at the AC to get her before they killed
her. She is VERY scared of other cats because of being declawed
and she is a biter also because of that, but she does love attention
and affection. This gorgeous girl just needs someone to
understand that she has been through alot and would need understanding
for the rest of her life, some of us just arent handed a good hand
:-( Demi,
girl, born

 Priscilla
is a 4-legged victim of foreclosures. Her family lost their home
and instead of trying to find a place for her, they simply left her
behind. She is very frightened in the shelter but when you have
her alone in a room, she snuggles and cuddles and relaxes, so she would
need a quiet home with a loving family, no children under 5.

 Thomas
K was found in a barn scavenging for food, he was very hungry and
unsure of what his future was going to be. A Good Samaritan
rescued him and brought him to the shelter. He is still unsure of
things but loves to get affection from the volunteers and would love to
find a home where he could unpack his bags. Thomas
K, boy, born

 Little
Brooke was born in our care a couple years ago. She was adopted
by a couple but she got outside and was hit by a car. Her family
didnt want her back, so she came back to the shelter. Her front
leg has been amputated due to the injuries received when she was hit by
the car, however, she gets around with no trouble at all, she hopes
that her next family will keep her for her lifetime. Brooke,
girl, born
approx
2006.

 Is
this little angel adorable or what? She is an Abyssinian mix and
is very petitie. She was found in a neighborhood where someone
had calously dumped her to fend for herself. She wasnt doing such
a good job of that, so someone rescued her and she is now safe.
She is a little scared at first but warms up in a few minutes.
She wouldnt do well with children under 10, but would love to share her
affection with a family that wont leave her on her own again. Ana
Mae, Abyssinian mix, girl, born
approx

 Blackie
Vaughn is having a difficult year, his guardian passed away the day
after Christmas 2007 and he found himself in a shelter sharing all the
attention. He is so not used to that, his guardian loved him
dearly but the guardian's family didnt, so he ended up in the shelter
and is now looking for another loving home. He is a BIG kitty,
that is also a character! He is the BEST headbutter you can
imagine! Blackie Vaughn, boy, born approx 2002

 Do
you see this little beauty queen's beauty mark? Josie was found
in a feral colony but was a dumpee. She was scrounging for food
and the ferals were running her off. She was extremely emaciated
and scared, but she made up for lost time and is now a plus size but no
extra adoption fee required :-) She is very affectionate and is
looking for a family to share a couch with, is that you? Josie,
girl, born
approx
2004.

Danielle
is one lucky kitty.
She showed up on the porch of a nice caretaker who was participating in
a trap-neuter-return program for feral cats. This trusting,
innocent youngster decided to take a nap in the yard of a
cat-aggressive dog. She almost used up one of her nine lives
scaling the fence after the dog rushed her, but she
escaped his big jaws by an inch. The dog's owner
thought it was funny! She was rescued right after that awful
incident and hopes to never again fear for her life. Danielle
is an easygoing girl who is friendly towards other
cats. She's not pushy or demanding, but she delights in
attention, likes being held, loves to chase
balls, and is very sweet. She has interesting
copperish eyes and the cutest little white tail tip and white toes. Danielle
or Dani (as we call her),
girl, born approx 11/07.

 Andy's
family sent him to our shelter. He had been unwanted for some
time and we finally got him worked into the shelter. He is quite
confused as to what happened to him but he wants affection and
attention from the volunteers. He is quite talkative and would
make a great companion for someone who would promise to not send him
away. Andy,
boy, front declawed born
approx

 ZigZag's
2008 didn't start off well, his owner passed away the day after
Christmas 2007 and ZigZag and his feline siblings were out on the
street. HELP Humane Society was able to get all the kitties to
safety but now they are all looking for new families. Many of
them are seniors, as is ZigZag. By the way, he got his name
because when his guardian rescued him, he had a zig zag open wound on
his head. The veterinarian thought that he had been up under a
car trying to keep warm and someone started the engine, luckily he
survived. Zig Zag is a senior Manx that is not that crazy about
other cats, but if they dont bug him, he is not an aggressor. He
would just like to have a lot of lap time, he sleeps alot, and would
like to snuggle with someone while taking care of that business.
ZigZag,
boy, born approx
2000.

 This
gorgeous Maine Coon girl Tilly is quite a prissy little thing.
She knows she is drop dead gorgeous. She was brought in by a Good
Samaritan, however, they didn't realize that she was nursing kittens,
so many volunteers set out to find the babies but they were no where to
be found. We like to believe that they were rescued. Its
clear that Tilly has been on her own, she is quite independent,
although likes affection, its always at her own pace. She does
NOT like children, in fact, she will chase them and bite them if they
run or make racket, so no children under 10 in her new family. If
you are looking for a family member that is not completely dependent on
your time, Tilly,
girl, born approx
2006. No children under 10. Maine Coon.

 Isnt this a gorgeous
face? Elena is so affectionate and loving, she needs someone that
would be happy to spend quality time with her as she longs for
affection constantly. She would be fine with other kitties and
also as a lone kitty as long as her family has time to spend with
her. She was adopted out and returned because she didn't want to
be friends with the family dog. So, although, she would probably
be fine with dogs, we doubt she would become a fast friend with one, so
she probably wouldn't be a good choice if you are looking for a friend
for your dog. Elena,
girl, born approx
2005.

 Missy
was trapped as part of a TNR program, so she has an eartip.....but she
is not feral. She loves to perch on your shoulder and give you
face rubs from the side. She doesnt, however, like being around
other cats, so she spends so much of her time here in a cage, which is
very sad. We hope she can find her family soon, one tMissy, girl,
born approx 2004

 Pearlie
is one exotic looking kitty....she has gorgeous markings and a wide
nose and huge paws! No one thinks she is a specific breed but wow
does she look exotic. She is timid at first but once she warms
up, she is a real love bug. She doesnt like to be picked up but
is very affectionate and loving. She would do best with another
feline friend. Pearlie,
girl, born approx 5/06.

 Glory, named for her coat color,
red/white and blue calico, we affectionately call her "Glory Be".
This little lady was more then confused when she was dumped by her
"mom" back into the shelter when she decided not to take her with her
in a move. Glory was terrified and confused and lashed out at all
staff. Luckily, we understand the confusion of losing your family
can have on an animal, so with lots of patience and understanding, she
is nothing but loving with the staff now. She is not great with
other cats and really would prefer to be the queen with at least one
lap to call her own. She promises to be loving and loyal in
return. Glory,
girl, born approx 2004

 Violet,
female, born approx 4/06.
Hi, I am Violet…you know like the
flower. I tolerate
canines, humans and love moonlit nights with bugs near the window. I am
funny,
energetic and very outgoing. I love to lie in awkward positions,
especially on
my back and in what many humans call a spread eagle position. In
addition, I am
a little on the hefty side, but I prefer the word fluffy when
discussing my
weight. Foster mom says she love to hold me because it is like holding
a human
baby. But, enough of that; I am very strong willed and do not take no
for an
answer. I have been known to follow my furless (human) roommates around
until
they produced the goods I wanted….love and affection! Therefore, this
just
gives you a taste of my true identity; but, I have one downfall. Like
my
siblings, I get a little upset when I visit the animal shelter on the
weekends.
This is because I see and smell other felines which make me
nervous and
upset.
So, if you are interested, foster mom does not mind if you visit me or
if I
have friends over. This is so we can truly get a feel for one another
and if we
would be good compatible forever roomies.

 Keiko,
female, born approx 4/06 The
tortie WITH the striped face - truly a beautiful expression. She
loves to watch the birds on the wires outside and those flying in for a
tidbit of feral cat food. She cackles away while watching them,
she is just sure if she is patient enough, she will be able to catch
one. She is very affectionate and loving, in fact, she will
actually take a break from bird watching in order to get
attention! Keiko, girl, born approximately 4/06

 I
am the only boy in a litter of girls, and although that’s
a lot of estrogen….I can hold my own! I am definitely a dominant boy;
however,
I am a cuddle bug and love a good massage. I even ask for it by
meowing. How
many critters or even humans are that direct?? In addition, I am not
all about
talking and taking. I love to give my siblings baths and take a nap
with them
in the sun. Therefore, I am in touch with my feminine side but still
remain a
manly man! However, like my sisters (Violet, Pansy and Daffodil), I
don’t put
on a good show when foster mom takes me to the shelter on weekends for
the sole
purpose of showing that I am available bachelor. To help combat my one
“hang
up” or issue, you are more than welcome to arrange a visit to my foster
home.
This should help to determine if I am the right man for you!

 Suzette
and her siblings were born at the shelter in March.....they reached
adoptable age in May.....adoptions always fall to nothing during May
and June. They start back up again in July but by that time, this
litter of kittens were teenagers and there were hundreds of tiny
kittens everywhere, adopters chose the tiny kittens. So this
litter
has grown up in the shelter and we think they deserve to go
home......so the shelter staff and volunteers have collected money to
pay the difference in the reduced adoption fee and the regular
one.
They are all very sweet and loving. They have adorable faces and
really long to have a lap to lie on instead of just a chair in their
room. Please give them the chance they deserve! Suzette,
girl, reduced
adoption fee to $50.00, this girl has been at the shelter too long, she
needs to go home!

 Pansy,
girl, born approx 7/06. I live in a foster home with my siblings,
a dog and a family of the human kind. Anyway, I have been there
since I was a wee baby and I love my digs. However, due to this
level of comfort, I get upset, growl and hit at my furry brother and
sister when foster hom takes me to the shelter on weekends....she does
this so potential forever families can meet me. since that place
does not bring out the best in me, let me tell you a little bit about
myself. I am 6 inches from the ground, gray and white, short
haired and love a cozy place to take a nap. I can be shy and
quiet or will hide if you make me mad; but, at other times I am a lap
kitty and will not let you get away without a snuggle or a stoke on my
ears. Theefore, you'd better be good with your hands! I
dont readily like the canine species; but, if you give me a little time
I can adjust and live harmoniously....I have finally accepted my
obnoxious Border Collie foster cousin! In addition, I would do
well if I was adopted with one of my sibling; but, I am unsure if I
could stand another "feline fur ball" that I dont know. Putting
me in this situation may be asking a little much. Let me know if
I spark your fanc; and, if so, other arrangements can be made so that
you can see me at my best or within my comfort zone. Here's an
example Click

 Our
dear little sweet spirited Vidi. Vidi came to the shelter through
Animal Control last spring. He came with a mama and 2 very tiny
siblings. They were all very sick.....his siblings didnt make it,
but Vidi decided he was not giving up and he fought back. He is
now about 8 months old and still fights bacterial infections.
From experience in the past with these type cases, at about 1 yr old,
they seem to have better immunities and seem to finally not get more
infections. We hope the same for Vidi, after all, he did his part
by fighting back, now we are doing our part by helping him to grow into
a big boy! Vidi,
boy,
born approx 5/06.

 What
a character this guy is! He is full of spirit, life and
love! He does play hard and would need a buddy that could keep up
with him, so an older resident kitty wouldnt be a good idea for
him. But if you are wanting a new family member and one that
would be buddies and romp with a young kitty, Stallone would be a great
choice. When he came into the shelter, he had a fat lip, that is
how he was named....Stallone,
boy, born approx 7/06.

 Is
this a doll baby or what? Gabi was found with a feral colony
trying to find food for her hungry belly! She is such a sweet
adorable little thing. She is an exotic shorthair, see her little
smooshed face, that alone can melt your heart! She loves to
snuggle and gets along great with other cats. She wouldnt do well
with young children though as she gets nervous with too much
commotion. Gabi, girl, born approx 2006.

 Such
a sweet little girl this is, however, she can be a little apprehensive
with people. The way to win her over is to offer people
food. Poor Caviar came from a bad situation where the people
didnt have enough money to care for all their cats, so the cats had to
scavenge for food, we believe that they were fed leftover table scraps
because she is obsessed with people food. So, if this is
something that would bother you, best to not choose this girl.
With understanding and reassurance, she will understand that she doesnt
need to scavenge anymore.......Caviar,
girl,
born approx 5/06.

 This
buff classic tabby boy had a rough beginning. A police officer
had to free him from a stack of pallets at the local Quik Trip.
Dupont was NOT happy about his troubles, he was very frightened,
covered in oil and just wasnt sure what would happen to him next.
He did learn that the Humane Society humans and vet employees were good
to him and therefore, he was no longer frightened. He got cleaned
up and now he is gorgeous! Dupont is blind in one eye from a
infection that he got before he was rescued. It doesnt stop him
from playing an having a great time though. Dupont would need
another kitty in his new family or maybe you would want to adopt
2! Dupont,
boy, born approx 7/06.

 Is
this girl gorgeous or what?! Nikita was a feral kitten when she
was brought in by animal control. She was put through our TNR
(trap, neuter & return) program for feral cats.....which is why you
see an eartip. While recovering from her vetting she decided that
she would like to be tame and stay inside with the 2-leggeds that
appeared to be taking care of her every need. So she
stayed.....she is very affectionate and is awesome with other
kitties.......how can you resist that?! Nikita,
girl, born approx 2005

 This
buff boy is just handsome. He goes crazy for toys and will chase
a laser light all day. He gets along with everyone including
other cats and dogs. He has one habit that could come in handy,
he likes to chew on hair. So you wont have to worry about a hair
brush, let Manny be your hair dresser, playmate and companion!

 Virgo
came from the ghetto.....the ghetto meaning a trailer with literally
hundreds of stray cats just multiplying uncontrollably...no one
cared. She made her way into the home of a single mother without
her
observing......suddenly the single mother heard faint cries from her
bedroom closet and found Virgo there with a newborn litter of
kittens. Unable to financially care for her, she asked HELP to
take her and her litter. She is learning not to gulp her food, we
keep reassuring her that her bowl will always get filled but she is not
quite convinced yet but trying. She is affectionate and
attentive, she would make a wonderful quiet companion with very few
requests.....one being a full food bowl. Virgo,
girl, born approx 2005

 Raejean
is a timid girl with a ugly past. We think she deserves better,
dont you? She was kept in a home with a family that refused to
get veterinary care for thier animals and the cats multiplied to an
huge number. When they saw that Raejean and her sister Karla were
about to deliver kittens again, they dumped all 12 into our
shelter. Raejean is just not sure how to trust but given quiet
reassurance, she warms up. We still think she deserves to have a
family that will give her that. No children under 10.
Raejean, girl, born approx 2005

 Felix
is a lover boy when he gets to know you. He loves affection and
attention from people and gets along great with other cats. He is
a tab bit timid at first, which is truly sad, because he is a black cat
and they get overlooked so often in animal shelters. Add his bit
of scardey cat in there and we know we must have a special family
before he gets a chance at adoption. Are you that special
family? Felix, boy, born approx 2004

 You
cant really tell from this picture but Cookie's face is smashed in just
a little, like their must be Persian or something in her
background. She just has that really sweet look. She loves
to talk but is VERY soft about it and it usually is accompanied by a
slow eye blink. Cookie was found abandoned and locked in a garage
where someone had moved out. We are not sure if it was by
accident or intentional but by the time she was rescued, she was not in
good shape......it was during the heat of the summer and she was
starving and dehydrated. A veterinarian was actually who found
her (lucky her) and brought her back to health so we could find her a
good family.......is that you? Cookie,
girl, born approx 2005

 Jodie
came from a bad situation where they had way too many kitties to
properly care for. When she entered the shelter, she had 2 young
kittens and we could barely tell who the mother was! Such a baby
herself. She is timid at first so no children under 12
please. Jodie has had a rough time and needs a good stable family
that will give her the love and attention she so deserves. Jodie,

 Beth
is a young Exotic Shorthair with her stubby little face....she is such
a doll! She is very terrified of dogs and will attack immediately
when she sees one, so a home without dogs is needed for Ms Beth.
If you know cats, you know they dont care for belly rubs, but Beth is
not your ordinary kitty! She LOVES belly rubs. Even though
she is a bit timid of people at first she will plop right over if you
offer her a belly rub, she just cant resist! Beth,
girl, Exotic Shorthair, born approx 2005

 Oasis
fits his name well, he is very exotic looking and you cant help but be
drawn to him. He is very affectionate and loving. He is
good with other cats but sometimes gets bullied by very dominant
kitties. He is on a special food but it doesnt cost a whole lot
more then regular food. Its a diet that is bland and high in
fiber......he didnt have a good life before he ended up with us so his
tummy tolerates the special diet better then regular. Oasis,
boy, born approx 2005

 Poor
old girl Jezel....she is a senior and a black cat.....two strikes
against her....yet this girl has so much to give. She asks
for so little, a full food bowl, fresh water, a soft place to lay her
sweet head and her litter box scooped. In return, she would love
to be a couch potato with you, hear all your troubles from the day and
snuggle with you.....she wouldnt be climbing drapes or hanging from the
chandeliers....just a soft quiet companion......we hope she gets her
wish.........She still has LOTS of years left! Jezel,
girl, born approx 1998

 Chevy
got his name because he purred like a Chevy engine. We had no
idea that he was purring to calm himself as he was so terrified in the
shelter. We all love him dearly and praise him for being such a
brave boy. We are not sure that anyone would give Chevy a chance
because of how scared he is of people, but he would make a great
companion kitty for someone who is too busy to give a whole lot more to
a new kitty but would like a friend for their own kitty. Chevy,
boy, born approx 2004

 Little
Ms Trina has not had an easy time in life, apparently someone abused
her and she is on her guard because of it. She needs someone to
give her some time and patience to trust but we think she is worth
it. She lives with the fear that someone is going to take her
belongings and she realizes that she needs them, so she is
protective. Wont you give her a chance, after all, we all need
second chances at something, dont we? Trina,

 Poor
Imari, what happened to her family? Did they abandon her in her
senior years...or did she get lost and they didnt want to look for
her? We wish we knew. All we know is she is over 10 yrs
old, a mature girl, who has found herself in the middle of an animal
shelter. Now, we have a great place, not your average shelter,
but a girl this age should be spending her time as a lap warmer, not
alone in an animal shelter! Someone loved her once....she had
already been spayed when she came in. Her coat was clean and she
was a good weight......what could have happened with her........we are
hoping someone will give her a good life for her senior years......she
would be a good companion for a human senior. She isnt, however,
fond of other cats....another reason she shouldnt have to be in a
shelter. Imari,
girl (senior), black/white, born approx 1997

 Rochelle

 Tresselle
is a gorgeous Torby girl. She is full of sprit and zest for
life. She is great with other cats, however, she does play rough,
so she needs a kitty friend that would appreciate that and not be
scared. If you try to stop petting her, she will grab your arm
with her paw and give you a love bite......best way to handle that,
dont stop petting her! Tresselle,

Hello, my name is Chimi. I was
abandoned at 3 weeks old I was taken in by HELP Humane Society. Lucky for me they found me a wonderful
surrogate mom she has been really good to me along with my foster mom. I am the little talker of the litter. I love to cuddle and play with my other

 Prissy
was brought in to the shelter with a horrible gash on her neck.
The vet determined that it was a burst abscess, poor baby! She
was out on her own and has not front claws! How was she going to

she love a home of her own, can you do that for her? Prissy,

 My
name is
Cruella. I got that name because of my
beautiful black and white spotted coat and pointy nose.
You may have noticed I'm missing part of an
ear -- that's because I as originally trapped in a feral colony and
spayed by a
vet that takes care of feral cats. The
ears of feral cats are clipped so that rescue groups will know that cat
has
been spayed/neutered already. Well,
anyway, it was decided after I was spayed and my ear clipped that I
wasn't
feral, although I was a little wild and not very social. My foster mom
has
worked with me since I was a baby and I'm a real sweetie now. I like to play with toys, cuddle on the bed
with people at night, lay on calm laps and get petted.
I startle easy still if something unexpected
happens and would probably no be a good pet for a child or someone who
would
want to carry me around all the time. When
people I don't know come to the house I do tend to
hide in my
foster mom's bedroom with her chicken-cats. Are
you looking for a beautiful girl like me?Cruella,
girl, born approximately 5/05.

 Is
he just THE most handsome boy?! Tundra is a VERY affectionate boy
that would love to have a lap to lounge on. He just lives for
attention from people. Although on first approach, he is
sometimes apprehensive if he doesnt know you, but it only take a couple
seconds for him to get over that if it means he gets some
affection. He loves other cats and would be thrilled to have a
family that included feline sisters or brothers! Tundra,

 What
to say about Amanda......we believe that Amanda has basically been to
hell and back. She was obviously abused and/or tormented.
She is constantly trying to defend herself and protect her
"stuff". When she calms down, she loves affection but is
constantly scared that you will begin tormenting her if she lets her
guard down, so she doesnt. Amanda came to us with a bad open
wound around her rear end and lashing out in terror. The
volunteers just love her and are determined to make sure that she gets
the patience and tolerance that she needs why we help her to work
through her past. She needs a special person/family (no children)
that will continue to help her. We realize that this type of
spcial person may not exist outside of the shelter, but we are hoping,
for her sake, we are hoping......

girl, born 2004 or 05

My
name is Scamp. I’m a bit shy in new surroundings and when I meet new
people, but give me a few days to adjust and I’m fine.
I am an adult cat, but behave more like a kitten. I require lots of
toys to play with and would appreciate a good variety. Sometimes, I get
so excited over my toys, that I play non-stop for hours.
If you adopt me, I would also like another cat to be my friend, because
I get lonely when I’m all alone. I like all cats and will not judge
based on gender, color or breed.
I like sleeping with my foster mom. I jump up on the bed and roll and
roll until I have made a “nest”, then I nudge her hand so that she is
touching me. I enjoy human contact and just wish my foster mom didn’t
have to go to something called “work” everyday. But she says she has to
go to that place or else she can’t buy me my food and toys, so I guess
that’s okay.
My vet has also put me on a special diet of a food called C/D by
Science Diet. It is to keep crystals from forming in my urine and I
need this special food to stay healthy.
If you would love a cat that will entertain you, keep me in mind.
Scamp,
boy. Born 3/05

 This
boy is high spirited for sure! He does everything with all his
heart. Plays and loves hard! If you are looking for a quiet
companion that you barely notice, Falcon is not the one, he wants to be
a part of everything and if he needs affection and you are not
delivering, then he will politely paw at you, just in case you werent
paying attention!

 Porky
is a gorgeous loving Russian Blue with a white medallion on his
chest. He is very affectionate with people but is really
terrified in the shelter. He would do fine with other cats but of
course, a reasonable number of them, not like the number in the
shelter. He has also been around dogs, so he could handle a
sibling of the canine persuasion. He has been waiting for his
family for a long time........he is hoping they get here soon! Porky,

has not had an easy life, she was born at the Home Depot about 2 yrs
ago and has been having kittens every few months since then. The
employees thought they were helping by just giving away her kittens but
not getting her spayed. This made a rough life for her. She
is now spayed and will never have to worry about babies
again. She really loves attention and food :-) She
would do best in a home without children under 10 years old. She
is a blue creme torti wih gorgeous copper eyes who longs to have a safe

 Jasmine
was released to HELP because her mommy had to go into a nursing home.
Jasmine is a declawed Manx and has never lived in a home with other
cats. She is a lap cat and is too sophisticated to be interested in
toys. She loves to just watch for entertainment. She has a cute little
bobtail, she wags it when she is happy and when she is watching
something of interest. The other thing she loves to do is talk. Her
foster parents think she sounds a little bit like a lamb baaing. When
she runs and jumps she hops like a rabbit. Foster dad keeps telling her
she is confused about what kind of animal she is! Jasmine is in a
foster home with 4 other cats and this just doesn't make her happy. All
her life she thought she was the ONLY cat in the world and now she just
can't believe how wrong she has been. Even though Jasmine is 10 years
old her life is far from over. Her foster parents think if she could
say for herself what type of home she would like she would say "One
where they let me sleep on their laps. One where I am the ONLY cat and
can be the Princess. I am not sure about kids, but as long as they
leave me alone until I decide I like them that would be okay. Also, I
have never been around dogs so I think that might be too scary for me.
I don't require much but a full bowl of food, a pillow or person to
sleep on and someone who will talk to me."

 Clover
is a gorgeous black and white cat with mittens on her front paws
and stockings in the back. She is shy when she first meets people, but
is
affectionate once she gets to know you. She loves being petted, and
will lie on
your lap all day if you let her. Though Clover does like her own space
at
times, if she sees you paying attention to another cat, she will
immediately
come over and cut in. Clover gets along fine with dogs, and loves being
with
other cats to the point of need. She would do best if adopted with her
sister,
Josie. Clover, girl, born 2004.

Josie
(Jo) is the family jokester. She is very energetic and absolutely
loves playing with her favorite toy. She knows where it is kept and
will not
hesitate to ask you to get it out and play with her. Jo also likes
decent
places to perch – especially those provided by people’s backs. If she
sees you
lean over, she will immediately jump on top of your back. Depending on
how long
you let her stay there, she will sit or even lie down and enjoy the
view.
During quiet evenings Jo may choose to lie down next to you on the
couch and
simply enjoy your company. She loves playing with other cats and gets
along
well with dogs. Jo would be happiest if she were adopted with her
sister,
Clover. Josie, girl, born 2004.

 Hi!
I'm a single guy with an attitude and I'm
looking for a like-minded room mate. I'm
a very handsome boy and have a white heart in the middle of my
back.
I would not be a good pet for someone with
small children or even middle size children as I'm a little
unpredictable and
when I get stressed or scared I sometimes don't behave well and might
scratch
or, heaven forbid, even bite one of them.
I don't like other cats and would like to be an "only". When my
foster mom first started taking care
of me I was very scared and would scratch and try to bite her all the
time....that was quite a while ago and I'm doing great now. When
she pats her check I jump up to be held
and cuddled. She also feeds me
yum-yums's (treats) that I take from her hand like a gentleman. I
like it best when she holds me and carries
me around although sitting on laps is ok too.
I don't come up to the adoption center to visit as all those cats
really
stresses me out. Are you the right person
for a special boy like me?

and just drop down and roll on my back for a good ole tummy
rub! I wag my tail like a dog and wiggle over to foster mom when

Punkin is a very tiny girl, she
only weighs 6 lbs and
is a year old. Her small figure is due to her malnutrion as a
baby. When we rescued her she was pregnant and too small to even
have her babies. She is shy at first but warms up quickly.
She wouldnt do well with young children because they just move too fast
and are too loud. She loves other cats and would need a home with
them. She is good with dogs also. She has scar tissue
covering her tearducts because of the sickness she had so bad when she
was rescued, therefore
her eyes tear sometimes but she is very healthy now. She plays
VERY
hard and would need another cat that would enjoy rough play also..

 Hi
all. First off, I must let you know that I defend my
right to free speech; which means I talk a lot and feel the need to
share my
opinion. If no one listens to me, I talk anyway. But I am very sweet
and
seeking only love in return, plus a bowl full of food.
Some
people have over-looked me because I have a sore hip.
It hurts when I get touched there, and sometimes I forget it is a human
touching me and I get nippy. I don’t intend to be mean, but it hurts
and I just
want the pain to go away, so sometimes I act before I think.
I
also sometimes wet on things that I shouldn’t, like my
foster mom’s bed or a pile of laundry. I get really frustrated
sometimes and I
do this to express my feelings when I don’t know what else to do.
My
foster mom loves me regardless of all of my problems, but
she, well…..she likes DOGS of all things! So that only means she would
love me
no matter what. But I need a home of my own, and not just be a foster
cat.
I’m
just a cranky old lady and I sure hope there is someone
out there that will put up with me and love me just the same.
My
name is Aubree and I was born in 2000 years old.

that I run the show. When I came to HELP, I was VERY sick with an
infection. So foster mom babied me and so I am a little self
centered and sometimes play too rough with the other cats. I LOVE
to play fetch with my little toy furry mice. I will run and run,
fetching it until your arm tires out. When I return it to you, I
need to get my "good boy" petting : -) I have a tendency to love
bite when trying to get attention but I dont do it to try to hurt you.
